SyncWake looks at what is actually on your calendar, works out when you need to be up and moving, and sets the alarm for you. A subscription is required to use it. New subscribers start with a 14-day free trial. Afterwards only $0.99 per month WHAT IT INCLUDES Calendar alarms Choose the calendars you care about — work, personal, family. Every event becomes an alarm. Move the event and the alarm moves with it. Travel time For events with an address, SyncWake estimates how long the journey takes by the way you actually get around, adds the time you need to get ready, and counts backwards from the start. Events with no location simply use your preparation time. Preparation steps A short checklist for the event ahead, generated for you, so you leave with what it needs. Battery alert If your phone will not survive tomorrow's trip, you hear about it tonight, while you can still plug it in. A REAL ALARM, NOT A REMINDER SyncWake rings on the lock screen like an alarm clock — not a notification you swipe away half asleep.
